Dwayne Stovall, candidate for Texas Congressional District 36, announces intended legislation to protect the children of Texas when he is sworn into office.

Stovall said in a statement, “Just when you think the abortion industry could not be more evil, we learn that some people with Planned Parenthood are apparently selling fetal tissue, organs, and limbs for profit.

“This is the inevitable outcome of those who place no value on human life; the same people who claim a woman has the right to kill her unborn child demand someone else be jailed for killing a plant or an animal they deem endangered. How much more of this insanity will we Texans allow? I want every Texan to know it doesn’t have to be this way.

“As your representative, one of my first actions will be to put forth simple, straightforward legislation that reads:

‘As of this date, by Law, the issue of abortion will be remanded to the States, and the federal judiciary will no longer have standing on the issue of abortion.’

Stovall continued by saying, “Make no mistake, the Constitution tells us that Congress has the power — the absolute power — to control the Supreme Court’s involvement in any issue outside the three specific types of cases listed.

“Article III, Section 2, of the federal Constitution is clear about the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court: In all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in which a state shall be a party, the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction. In all the other cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such exceptions, and under such regulations as the Congress shall make.

“Understanding this is key to restoring the federal system of government on which the Constitution was based, and in which the citizens of the States, outside of the limited authorities delegated to the federal government, retain the authority to manage the affairs of their own State.

“Yes, it’s that simple. If we Texans want to manage the issue of abortion according to our morals, values, and traditions, this type of legislation must be proposed.

“We must destroy the lie that a few hundred members of an elite political class, located in a town far, far, away, have the absolute power to rule over the daily lives of more than 320 million people. It’s past time to rein in the federal government.

“Without fail, politicians will give speeches about how they intend to shrink government and restore the Constitution, but once elected they leave us behind and vote in a manner that continues to grow the government and injures the Constitution.

“Throughout my campaign, I will give explicit and easy-to-understand examples of how I intend to use the authorities conveyed to the Congress in the Constitution to actually restore States’ Rights and limit the federal government.

“Proposing legislation to take authority over abortion away from these elites and return it to the citizens of Texas is just the first of many.”
